Did you have both sides injected? What muscles did they inject? Scalenes as well as pec minor? Or others? Was it Botox A or Botox B? And, how long did they say it would take before possibly starting to feel relief?

thanks again. Hope to hear back from you....
I have bilateral arterial & neurogenic TOS. I had injections to my anterior scalene & pec minor on both sides. The doctors who were in charge of doing the injections read Dr. Donahue's orders wrong and were only going to inject on one side, but I caught that mistake. Basically, I was told it can take a few weeks to take effect. Everybody is different.

In case anybody wonders how much it hurts, both of my sides had very different levels of pain during the procedure. Left side barely felt anything (like a bee sting. 0.5/10). Right side had a mild level of pain, which I'd rate at a 2.5/10. Neither side was particularly painful.
